I wish he'd get some new material.
The quote, by the way, which comes from a Jefferson letter. says, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots *and tyrants.”* He always skips that last part.
I'm pretty big on the #2A and I have never once heard anyone use this quote to rationalize gun ownership.
And modern armies do often struggle with insurgencies that are equipped with small arms. We have plenty of unfortunate experiences in such wars.

I've read the thread 3x and I can't any quote undermining the notion that MLK's dream was an America where ppl were judged not by the "color of their skin but by the content of their character." Legum seems to think MLK's criticism of racism is itself a form of identitarianism.
Of course, the entire thread is a giant strawman. Because the argument isn't that we should IGNORE race, or the history of race, but rather that the ideal is that people should not be judged -- legally and societally -- by their immutable qualities, but rather by their deeds.
It says a lot about the modern left that they're annoyed by this ideal.

This piece is a masterpiece in dishonest strawman-ing. There’s no reason for anyone to who supposedly believes in “democracy” to defend suppressing news. So they have to pretend it wasn’t.
If Donjr’s laptop had pics of him doing crack and contained evidence that his dad had taken a ten percent cut of his shady chicom cash, I assume it would be a pretty big story.
And recall that it wasn’t just twitter; major news organizations not only refused to look into the contentions, they focused on “fact-checks” and undermining its veracity. The politico russian disinfo piece? Remember the NYT story about how the Post newsroom was in revolt?

Not a single “journalist” who went on tv over the past two days and blamed conservatives for the Q shooting will apologize or be reprimanded. And they’ll do the same thing next time.
All they have to do is wait and find out the motive before politicizing these horrific crimes. They can’t control themselves.
And, honestly, we still don’t know the motive. Maybe the shooter is lying. I have no clue. And neither does anyone on msnbc.

not even close.
Japan, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, South Korea, France, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Spain, India, Singapore, South Africa. It's true that a number of Western European nations that also pumped money into a hot economy are experiencing high inflation.
That doesn't make our policy decisions any better.

Here's what I think Walker should have said, by the way:

I mean, it's dumb, but he was 19.
Basically the Dem position. politico.com/blogs/ben-smit…
Having the read the piece -- which I should have done before commenting -- I don't even think the tweet fairly conveys his opinion ...
